Yes - I am all for it. The only concern is: if there is to strong a connection / correlation between the Dean campaign and this non profit service then the campaign is liable.
Two points:
1) IMHO this should not be a non-profit venture. This is different from the idea of an academic project which will further the general goals of nodal/online politics. It needs to be non-partisan, but it's essentially a fee-for-service company, and that's all it should be. It's blogspot for a modified version of drupal. There are also strategic reasons for this (see my previous email).
2) As long as the class and quality of service offered is neutral, then it doesn't matter who sets it up. The proof is in the pudding, not in the pedigree. This would mean a stock turnkey install would not include a partisan drupal theme, but we could offer a theme gallery which users would be free to contribute to.
